Summary
Many believe that the galaxy is full of unknown possibilities. Ores and resources untouched, lands undiscovered, species undocumented, though no one would have thought of A FUCKING WAR BETWEEN THE ELDERS OF THE PSI SYSTEM AND THE REST OF THE GALAXY! This conflict has been going on for decades, destroying entire civilizations and races of people, ruining ecosystems to hellish degrees, and dragging other nations, kingdoms, and governments into this war. Everything was going fine on Earth, though the sightings from NASA exploring the stars have been unsettling. Then They came, Sectoids, Mutions, Floaters, and those damn Lids. They invaded Earth, taking over the governments under one banner. ADVENT. The Commander of the XCOM project(The Reader) was captured during this. Twenty years later, a few years after Remnant and the Galactic Republic have joined the Psionic Wars against the Elders and Advent and a week before Unification Day, Team RWBY and Delta Squad of the COG have been sent to Earth to aid XCOM and free the Commander. Team RWBY have also been sent to find the two teams that were sent before them, Team CFVY and Team SSSN. Can these Huntresses and Soldiers help save the day, or will the War be prolonged even more.

Summary
The story follows a young X-Com soldier, Xavier Mortis, throughout the events since the first invasion on Earth in X-COM EU/EW and X-COM 2 series, and everything in between. Although maybe from a different perspective.
It’s my 1st try at 1st person narration so… I know I’ll make a lot of mistakes and don’t know how long it’ll be.
Please give me feedback on the story, style and what do you think if you want to.- Language:
